I HAVE OWNED A 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX SINCE LATE DECEMBER 2006 I HAVE HAD THE CAR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD 60,000 MILES AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 86,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS LIKE EACH TIME I DRIVE IT SOMETHING IS MAKING A NOISE IN THE FRONT END. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY BE OR MAY NOT BE HONDA'S FAULT. I DID PURCHASE THE CAR USED AND THE SUSPENSION WAS NOT SERVICED AT A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER; BUT I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT EXPERIENCE THESE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2001-2002 CIVICS. I THINK HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES ITS A MATTER OF THEIR CONSUMERS SAFETY WHEN THE SUSPENSION IS JEOPARDIZED. MY WARRANTY HAS COVERED MOST ITEMS BUT ITS...

#760735 | April 18, 2002

FAULTY HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS: ON A FEW OCCASSIONS, WHILE TURNING OR CHANGING LANES AT MODERATE SPEEDS ON PAVEMENT THAT WAS NOT PERFECTLY SMOOTH, THE CAR 'HOPPED' SIDEWAYS UNPREDICTABLY. THIS WAS VERY DISCONCERTING, AND DESPITE THIS MODELS EXCELLENT CRASH-TEST RESULTS, THIS PROBLEM PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. AUTOMOBILE MAGAZINE, APRIL, 2002, P. 124, REFERS TO THIS FRONT SUSPENSION FLAW ON 2001 MODELS ONLY (CORRECTED ON 2002 MODELS) AS "LIKE DRIVING A TIRED, OLD TAXICAB". I'VE ASKED THE SERVICE DEPT. TWICE TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER & RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I'VE ALSO WRITTEN TO HONDA CORP. IN TORRANCE, CA TWICE, WITH NO RESPONSE TO DATE. I BELIEVE THAT A RECALL OR SIMILAR MEASURE WOULD BE IN ORDER TO REMEDY THIS HANDLING PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AT NO COST AND PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER CAR, OR TO REPLACE MY CAR WITH A 2002 CIVIC LX COUPE AT NO COST...
